Answer: 8x+3x=12x+9

The number is -9.

Step-by-step explanation: Combine like terms.

11x=12x+9

Subtract 12x from the other side. 11x-12x= -1x

-1x+9

Divide by -1 to isolate x.

-1/-1 cancels out.

9/-1= -9

x=-9

Plug in -9 to check your answer if you want to double check.

The complement of an angle is 59°. What is the measure of the angle?

GrogVix [38]

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. The complement of 59 degrees would be 31 degrees, since 31 + 59 = 90.

Line segment pr is a directed line segment beginning at p(-10,7) and ending at r(8,-5). find point q on the line segment pr that

frosja888 [35]

$\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ P(-10,7)\qquad R(8,-5)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from P to R}}{4:5} \\\\\\ \cfrac{P\underline{Q}}{\underline{Q} R} = \cfrac{4}{5}\implies \cfrac{P}{R} = \cfrac{4}{5}\implies 5P=4R\implies 5(-10,7)=4(8,-5)$

$(\stackrel{x}{-50}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{35})=(\stackrel{x}{32}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-20})\implies Q=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{-50 +32}}{4+5}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{35 -20}}{4+5} \right)} \\\\\\ Q=\left( \cfrac{-18}{9}~~,~~\cfrac{15}{9} \right)\implies Q=\left( -2~~,~~\cfrac{5}{3} \right)$
